OPPID rewrites the DWG and modifies the database. Use one of these suggestions to ensure original documents and data.Backup all of your files. This includes all of DWG and database filesWork on an AutoPLANT project that is either in testing location or in a “none production” environment.SetupThe conversion uses the AP database to locate documents, component definitions and relationships. The AP Project ID and Root path must be defined in the OPPID project.pcf file. If it is not the AP select database dialog will be shown.Add the AP Project database (that will be converted) variables to project.pcf fileAP_PROJECT_ROOT =c:\myprojectRoot\AP_PROJECT_ID=0001Add the Units bypass variable.

Read the message, check the Advisory box and Select Ok to convertA series of progress bars are displayed.The log dialog will display with conversion detailsFine TuneIt is possible that the conversion will have to run multiple times to “fine tune” a clients specific symbol set. This would require “convert->modify mapping-> restore->…“ workflow.Create backup of your files and dataMaster copyThis copy should be archived (original never touched)Master Test copyMaster Test copy to be used over and over to fine tune the mappings and conversion process.Use a test copy of “Master Test copy” drawings and databaseConvert APPID drawing(s)Review converted drawings and databaseIf Review converted drawings satisfactory, convert entire project and exit these stepsIf not satisfactory proceed to Step 5.Modify MappingGoto Step 2.This restores a test copy APPID Project and filesConversion variablesThese are variables that can be set that affect the conversion process.Variable NamePotential ValueDescriptionAP_PROJECT_ROOT0001This is the AP Project ID that is used with the drawing being convertedAP_PROJECT_IDc:\APProjects\This is the AP Project root that is used with the drawing being converted.
